Sovereign Security Architecture

Enterprise Security, Zero-Trust & On-Premise Ubuntu Edge

How Marketricks protects your business data: combining the privacy of on-premise UK Ubuntu servers with Cloudflare's global Zero-Trust Virtual Private Cloud edge.

Sovereign UK Ubuntu Storage

Your customer databases and order logs reside locally on hardened Ubuntu machines. No public exposure of ports (80/443/5432 closed to the outside world).

Cloudflare Edge VPC (cloudflared)

Outbound-only encrypted WireGuard-based tunnel routes traffic from Cloudflare's edge network directly into your local application without public port-forwarding.

Argon2id Salted Password Hashing

Credentials are mathematically irreversible. Using high-memory Argon2id password derivation, preventing rainbow table attacks and dictionary cracking.

Multi-Layer Anti-Brute Force Protection

Edge rate-limiting, Cloudflare Managed Challenge bot defense, and local fail2ban connection dropping instantly neutralizes credential-stuffing bots.

How The Virtual Private Edge Operates

Traffic Flow & Security Topology:
[Diner / Client Device] ➔ (HTTPS / TLS 1.3)
  ➔ [Cloudflare Global Edge: WAF, DDoS Mitigation, Rate Limiting & Bot Shield]
    ➔ [Encrypted Cloudflare Tunnel (cloudflared outbound daemon)]
      ➔ [Local Ubuntu Hardware (Internal loopback: localhost:3000 / SQLite)]

Total Port Isolation: Traditional servers require opening incoming firewall ports, making them vulnerable to port scanning and automated exploit bots. Under our Cloudflare Tunnel topology, the local Ubuntu server makes an outbound connection only to Cloudflare's edge. No inbound router ports are ever opened.

Zero-Trust Administrative Policies: Access to backend dashboards and management tools requires tokenized Cloudflare Zero Trust authentication, safeguarding sensitive operational tools behind biometric multi-factor authentication (MFA).
